[Red AH SRI T]

Lmao!!!!!!!!

[InSaNe^Sna1L]

the Ford Focus, a Merc C class and Lexus were 3 other cars in the top 5

[Red AH SRI T]

so that gives us 4 cars out of the top 5, what was the other?

[oneightoo]

wasnt it the new barina ? :p

[Red AH SRI T]

nope, new barina was excluded from judging because it was a re-badged car that was previously available here, even though it has had major changes

[CJB]

Really? So the Viva and Barina will never be car of the year? awesome!

[Red AH SRI T]

well not the current models, but the replacemnt models for them in a few years time will be :D

[CJB]

*passes out*

They would have a hard time winning anyways, right???

[Red AH SRI T]

the wouldn't have even been in the running my dear friend, another reason they werent nominated!

buy the new edition of Wheels which goes on sale tomorrow and read all about it

[CJB]

*lines up at newspower for a copy*

[InSaNe^Sna1L]

im going to be Judas here and say that I would definately buy a MX5 over an astra anyday...especially the new turbo one.....or the new turbo Mazda 6

[Red AH SRI T]

well im looking at buying an astra Turbo later this year, and the other car that interests me in the MX-5, hmm i dont know which way to go

although I do like that fact the MX-5 comes in blue!

[InSaNe^Sna1L]

my Dad will be getting an Mx5....but hes not sure if he is going to get a manual or not as mum might be driving it and she can only drive auto

[entice]

even more reason to get the manual....


I use to own an mx5.. best handling car I've driven, short of the Elise

[btm]

even more reason to get the manual....
bahahaa! so true :D

mmmmm 6 speed

[InsaneAsylum]

[Red AH SRI T]

you have obviously never driven an MX-5

A Toyota Paseo is a Hairdressers car

a Mazda MX-5 is not

[oneightoo]

a ford escort convertable is a hairdressers car..

[Red AH SRI T]

so is a Hyundai Coupe

[oneightoo]

what do you think of the tiburon?

apprentice hairdresser? or air stewardess' car?

[CJB]

a ford escort convertable is a hairdressers car..
I have never seen one of them before.

[oneightoo]

I have never seen one of them before.

[Mr T]

Bank Teller's car...!!!

[Red AH SRI T]

actually i was shocked to the core when recently WHEELS said the Tiburon was better than the Honda Integra!!!!

[oneightoo]

Bank Teller's car...!!!
sounds about right.. bloody bank tellers..

i'll tell ya something about bank tellers for the bank i work for.. grr.. i'm staff so i get free bank cheques, anyway i had a massive arguement with a teller cos she said no i had to pay $5 for a bank cheque! i went back to my building, got a copy of my contract and showed.. the stupid nuffy! even her boss said i had to pay..!!

[oneightoo]

actually i was shocked to the core when recently WHEELS said the Tiburon was better than the Honda Integra!!!!
based on what?

[Red AH SRI T]

let me try and find it again

it was either wheels or motor

[AF1R]

The MX-5 in NFS-Underground 1 was my ultimate car in the drift competions :D
Now all Australia needs is the hard top version!!!

Tiburon better than the Integra?? Integra Type R?
The Tiburon was such a crappy car in NFS-Underground 2, absolutly no handelling, major understeer issues.

[PaulyJ]

you're basing a cars performance on a game?

[Red AH SRI T]

i was thinking the same thing

[oneightoo]

you're basing a cars performance on a game?
dont you??

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D

[Mr T]

actually i was shocked to the core when recently WHEELS said the Tiburon was better than the Honda Integra!!!!

I was going to say this before when the Tiburon was raised...but preferred my bank teller joke...;)

The Tiburon is actually a very refined vehicle, I have driven several and was quite supprised by its quality and handling. The 2.7L V6 is a bit limp wristed at 127KW but the 6 cogs make up for it.
The next model due out later this year is rumoured to have either the Sonata's 173KW 3.2L V6 or the Grandeur's 197KW 3.8L V6 and is tipped to be RWD...:eek: ...mid 14's for sure...!!!

[Vectracious]

You're a riot Adrian :D

That would be a blast to drive I reckon, just a good cheap fanging around car.

[ROCCO]

Yeah how much do one of those go for??

[blueraven]

They sell new for 36k at the moment...but i bet you could get it cheaper or get them to throw something in...


i'm prolly getting a polo gti in the next few months so ner :D
